As I sat gazing into the open fire, a huge, white brick building, surrounded by torrid tongues of flame, sprang up from the 'burning logs. My memories returned to that building, Perry High School, where the four happiest years of my life were spent. The sca-ttered embers and glowing knots of wood became a group of youngsters, straggling up the steps of Perry to their first glimpse of high school life. Thinking of school reminded me of the old, musty photograph album, that I have cherished all these years. Picking it up, it fell op-en to a picture of Dr. john H. Adams. That brought to mind our first day. The welcome speech he gave us was so inspiring, that, as we left the auditorium, each student was determined to do 'his best. Our freshman year was -eventful in that we were separated from some of our oldest friends and were -placed with strangers who were distined to become our new classmates as well as our friends. Also wehad to 'become accustomed to finding our way through a seemingly enormous building, we got our first glimpse of life-preparing subjects, and we all became adjusted to high school life in general. There's the picture of our Sophomore Class. Weren't we an alert looking group of students ! ! ! We were all eager to do our best, even though it did require a lot of time, but somehow we always managed to get it done. My, this picture is well worn! The picture of our football team! I still remember how we used to stand for two hours in the rain to boost Perry on to another victory. How we entered the various clubs! We w-ere certainly always willing to support school activities! Looking up from the album and gazing into the fire, the licks of fllame seemed to paint va portrait of our Junior Class, after it had been enlarged by a group of students from Hamilton. They were a super gang and fitted right into our 'eleventh grade family. Sadness settled over the class 'as we were separated into three home rooms during the first half of the eleventh grade. Miss Waddell f111j, Dr. Cretzinger 11041, and llvfiss Altsman 0095 were our guiding lights. We were much happier wh-en some of us were recombined under the leadership of Miss Waddell in the last half of our Junior Year. As the pine began to smoke, the fireplace sent forth huge smoke rings which brought to mind the day we got Page Twenty-six ei is 4 if if
